Found on the August 2008 Prelim: “We advise you to begin each question with an outline. If you run out of time, the outline provides evidence for what you intended to write.”.seems like an important strategic note to include. Means that if we at least run out of time, the outline will count for something. This may, of course, have been committee-dependent.

Tip: After reading list compiled, I first read through the notes from The Handbook. I then do more in-depth readings of the books from the reading list.For notes, often the second bullet points are points I add based on reading the notes from past pre-limers.


Sometimes I inserted a comment into a quote. This is denoted as Z: The annotations after titiles denote where items can be found. Col - College Library; Mem - Memorial Library
